Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention relates to a light source module, and particularly, to light source modules formed by joining a plurality of light emitting units.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Large-sized light source modules have been widely used in large-sized billboards, large-sized display, and so on. Sometimes, in order to obtain a large-sized light source module, a plurality of light emitting units is joined together.
- When joining surfaces of two adjacent light source modules are rough, the two adjacent light source modules can not be closely united, and inevitably, an air gap exits between the two adjacent light source modules. Therefore, the light energy loss may occur due to light reflection on the joining surfaces of the two adjacent light source modules. The light emitted from a light emitting unit can not be efficiently coupled into an adjacent light emitting unit. As a result, uniformity of the brightness of the overall light source module is insufficient. Furthermore, the brightness of the overall light source module is decreased.
- Therefore, a new light source module is desired to overcome the above mentioned problems.
- An exemplary light source module includes a plurality of light emitting units and a light pervious paste. Each light emitting unit includes a light guide plate and a light source optically coupled to the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes a bottom surface, a light emitting surface opposite to the bottom surface, and a plurality of side surfaces interconnected between the bottom surface and the light emitting surface. The light pervious paste is interconnected between two adjacent side surfaces of two neighboring light guide plates

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , alight source module 10 according to a first embodiment is shown. Thelight source module 10 includes a plurality oflight emitting units 11. Two adjacentlight emitting units 11 cooperatively define a gap (not labeled) therebetween, and the gap is completely filled by a lightpervious paste 12. Every two adjacentlight emitting units 11 are connected by the lightpervious paste 12. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , thelight emitting unit 11 includes a light guide plate (LGP) 110, and alight source 112 optically coupling with thelight guide plate 110. The LGP 110 includes abottom surface 1101, alight emitting surface 1102, and a plurality ofside surfaces 1103 connected between thebottom surface 1101 and thelight emitting surface 1102. The LGP 110 can be square, rectangular, triangular or other suitable shapes. The LGP 110 can be made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), or acrylic glass. - The
bottom surface 1101 has a plurality of scatteringdots 101 and areflective layer 102 formed thereon. The scatteringdots 101 are configured for scattering light beams reaching thescattering dots 101. Thereflective layer 102 covers thescattering dots 101 and thebottom surface 1101. Thereflective layer 102 reflects light beams from the LGP 110 back to the LGP 110 so that the efficiency of thelight emitting unit 11 is increased. - The
light emitting surface 1102 has a plurality ofmicrostructures 103 formed thereon to enhance uniformity of the light emitting from thelight emitting surface 1102. In the present embodiment, themicrostructures 103 are V-shaped recesses. - The four
side surfaces 1103 each have a lightpervious paste 12 applied thereon. The lightpervious paste 12 has a high light transmittance ability, and a good adhesive ability. In the present embodiment, the lightpervious paste 12 is an ultraviolet (UV) cured paste. A refractive index of the lightpervious paste 12 should match a refractive index of theLGP 110. That is, the refractive index of the lightpervious paste 12 should be approximate to that of the LGP 110. Hence, losses of light caused by reflection on theside surfaces 1103 are decreased. When a difference between the refractive index of the lightpervious paste 12 and that of theLGP 110 is less than 0.1, the losses of light caused by reflection on theside surfaces 1103 are greatly decreased. Referring toFIG. 2 , all of the fourside surfaces 1103 of the LGP 110 have the lightpervious pastes 12 formed thereon. It should be noted that the lightpervious paste 12 may be applied on only two or threeside surfaces 1103 of the LGP 110 depending on the number of side surfaces of the LGP 110 adjoin with otherlight emitting unit 11. - The light
pervious paste 12 may have a plurality of highlyreflective particles 122 evenly dispersed therein. Thereflective particles 122 scatter the light in the light pervious paste. As a result, the brightness of the lightpervious paste 12 is more uniform and is increased. Thereflective particles 122 can be silicon dioxide particles and other suitable particles. - The LGP 110 has a recess defined in the center of the
bottom surface 1101. Part of thelight source 112 is received in the recess. In the present embodiment, thelight source 112 is a light emitting diode (LED). - The gap cooperatively defined between every two adjacent
light emitting units 11 are completely filled by the lightpervious paste 12. Thus, an air gap between the twolight emitting units 11 is eliminated. Hence, light energy losses caused by light reflection on theside surfaces 1103 are decreased. Accordingly, the light emitted from the firstlight emitting unit 11 can be efficiently coupled into the adjacent secondlight emitting unit 11. Likewise, the light emitted from the secondlight emitting unit 11 can be efficiently coupled into the adjacent firstlight emitting unit 11. As a result, the brightness of the overalllight source module 10 is more uniform. Furthermore, the brightness of the overalllight source module 10 is increased. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , alight emitting unit 21 according to a second embodiment is shown. Thelight emitting unit 21 includes anLGP 210 and twolight sources 212. TheLGP 210 includes anupper part 2102 and alower part 2104. Theupper part 2102 includes afirst side surface 2105 for joining with anotherlight emitting unit 21, and thelower part 2104 has asecond side surface 2107 for receiving light emitted from thelight source 212. Thefirst side surface 2105 has a lightpervious paste 22 formed thereon. Thelight sources 212 are adjacent to the second side surfaces 2107. - While certain embodiments have been described and exemplified above, various other embodiments from the foregoing disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments described and exemplified but is capable of considerable variation and modification without departure from the scope of the appended claims.
